marketo-mcp-server

MCP server for Marketo — query leads, programs, emails, forms, lists, and bulk exports from Claude in plain English.

32 tools covering leads (lookup, batch upsert, activity log), programs (list, clone, members), emails (clone, send sample), forms (clone, approve), smart + static lists, channels, landing pages, and bulk export jobs. Built for Marketo admins and marketing ops who'd rather ask a question than click through the UI.

Why this exists

The Marketo Admin UI is slow, the REST API is fiddly (LaunchPoint, identity tokens, OAuth client-credentials, bulk export polling), and most teams don't have an internal tool layer over it. This server abstracts the auth, retries, and pagination so you can ask Claude things like "which forms are approved on the Contact Us LP?" or "clone the Q1 webinar program into the Q2 folder" and it just works.

No other open-source Marketo MCP server ships this depth (32 tools across 9 categories). Earned a Glama AAA quality rating.

Example prompts

Once installed, ask Claude things like:

• "Show all leads created this week from the Webinar source."
• "What programs are currently active and what channel is each one under?"
• "Find all forms on the Contact Us landing page and show me their fields."
• "Clone the Q1 Webinar program into the Q2 folder and name it Q2 Webinar."
• "Export all leads updated in the last 30 days to CSV — email, firstName, lastName, company."
• "Send a sample of email ID 1234 to test@example.com rendered with lead 5678's data."
